-
-@uref{http://slashdot.org/, Slashdot} is a popular news site, with
-lively discussion following the news articles.  @code{nnslashdot} will
-let you read this forum in a convenient manner.
-
-The easiest way to read this source is to put something like the
-following in your @file{~/.gnus.el} file:
-
-@lisp
-(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods
-      '((nnslashdot "")))
-@end lisp
-
-This will make Gnus query the @code{nnslashdot} back end for new comments
-and groups.  The @kbd{F} command will subscribe each new news article as
-a new Gnus group, and you can read the comments by entering these
-groups.  (Note that the default subscription method is to subscribe new
-groups as zombies.  Other methods are available (@pxref{Subscription
-Methods}).
-
-If you want to remove an old @code{nnslashdot} group, the @kbd{G DEL}
-command is the most handy tool (@pxref{Foreign Groups}).
-
-When following up to @code{nnslashdot} comments (or posting new
-comments), some light @acronym{HTML}izations will be performed.  In
-particular, text quoted with @samp{> } will be quoted with
-@samp{blockquote} instead, and signatures will have @samp{br} added to
-the end of each line.  Other than that, you can just write @acronym{HTML}
-directly into the message buffer.  Note that Slashdot filters out some
-@acronym{HTML} forms.
-
-The following variables can be altered to change its behavior:
-
-@table @code
-@item nnslashdot-threaded
-Whether @code{nnslashdot} should display threaded groups or not.  The
-default is @code{t}.  To be able to display threads, @code{nnslashdot}
-has to retrieve absolutely all comments in a group upon entry.  If a
-threaded display is not required, @code{nnslashdot} will only retrieve
-the comments that are actually wanted by the user.  Threading is nicer,
-but much, much slower than unthreaded.
-
-@item nnslashdot-login-name
-@vindex nnslashdot-login-name
-The login name to use when posting.
-
-@item nnslashdot-password
-@vindex nnslashdot-password
-The password to use when posting.
-
-@item nnslashdot-directory
-@vindex nnslashdot-directory
-Where @code{nnslashdot} will store its files.  The default is
-@file{~/News/slashdot/}.
-
-@item nnslashdot-active-url
-@vindex nnslashdot-active-url
-The @acronym{URL} format string that will be used to fetch the
-information on news articles and comments.  The default is@*
-@samp{http://slashdot.org/search.pl?section=&min=%d}.
-
-@item nnslashdot-comments-url
-@vindex nnslashdot-comments-url
-The @acronym{URL} format string that will be used to fetch comments.
-
-@item nnslashdot-article-url
-@vindex nnslashdot-article-url
-The @acronym{URL} format string that will be used to fetch the news
-article.  The default is
-@samp{http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=%s&mode=nocomment}.
-
-@item nnslashdot-threshold
-@vindex nnslashdot-threshold
-The score threshold.  The default is -1.
-
-@item nnslashdot-group-number
-@vindex nnslashdot-group-number
-The number of old groups, in addition to the ten latest, to keep
-updated.  The default is 0.
